about

"The Realistics; great band from Staten Island. Funny, back in the day, I around 2001 or 2000, I saw them several times and they blew (popular band of the time) off the stage, every time..They were just so much better...I guess the bigger mystery besides how the hell did they not make it but (popular band of the time) did, is how the hell did I not have them on my show (Three Chord Monte)? I went to see them and I enjoyed them...if you're not familiar with them, definitely check them out, and if you were there, you know that I speak the truth; excellent band." –Joe Belock (Three Chord Monte, WFMU, March 2020)

"If you'd asked me in, say 2000, who my favorite band was, I'd have said the Realistics. My friend Niki and I would go down to the Khyber Pass in downtown Philly when we were in college to see them and other now unknown rock stars of the era. You could say it's sad that they never really broke through, but rock and roll is supposed to be ephemeral. I just feel so crazy lucky to have gotten to witness them in all their glory." –Lizzy Goodman (author of "Meet Me in the Bathroom", quote published in 2017)
